Award:Shield of Gallantry

This award is given to the Marine who has made the most significant personal impact in community service efforts within a particular Marine Unit (MSG or MEU). This effort does not necessarily have to be on behalf of a SFMC campaign effort, but financial donations are specifically excluded as the basis for eligibility. Volunteering your time and hard work counts; simply writing a check does not.

To make this award the Shield of Gallantry, a bronze-colored hourglass adorns the ribbon.
